Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

ION, there are 82 million cats in the US, and 72 million dogs. It was around 2001 when the number of cats exceeded the number of dogs for the first time.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Yoiks, sara. That's terrifying and depressing.

I've done a ton of cooking this weekend: broccoli cheddar soup, roast with steamed veggies and special potatoes, rice and black beans, taco bake.

I'm TIRED and the week hasn't even started yet.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh my gosh, I'm tired just thinking about all that cooking. I can just about handle making the meals right before eating them. If I had to cook them all at once we'd be eating a lot more take out.

Franny's asleep now. She looks like an angel when she's asleep. Isaac isn't asleep yet because he has this new habit of trying to stay awake as long as possible, but dad's in the room putting on his soporific mojo.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Did anyone else watch Mansfield Park tonight? Am I alone in thinking it really boring and weird with total charisma vacuums instead of actors?

Haven't watched it yet, but I think that Fanny Price and fuddy duddy Edmund are pretty tough sells when it comes to charisma. The movie version of MP basically did a full personality swap on Fanny, and really I could hardly blame them.

Me, I can't get past the idea of casting Billie Piper as Fanny Price. I mean, what on earth were they thinking?

Just realized that the cable's gone wonky. again. It did it this morning and didn't record something else.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yeah, I'll be checking it out later this week. Currently burning off an episode of Mission: Impossible.

You know what they didn't get in 1969? As retold by my extensive survey of Mission: Impossible and Stark Trek? Data on screens. They print on paper, they punch out on cards, they flash lights. But they don't have dynamically generated words on screens.

Kinda weird to look back on high tech shows lacking that, giving the ubiquity of readouts these days.

My left arm is randomly jacked up. Scratches, blisters, bruises, burns. Not sure what's up with that. I think it's off having a life from which the rest of me isn't benefitting.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

hmm. It might be partying with my upper-left thigh.
